In the valley earlier, Shen Qiang broke through Zuo Lianghao's sword array.
Although he conceded and some disciples of Hidden Sword Villa died, in reality, Shen Qiang did not cause any substantive harm to Zuo Lianghao in the valley, as Zuo Lianghao always maintained his distance, never entering the range covered by the Plague Source.
After all, the coverage of the Plague Source is only 130 meters. Within this range, Shen Qiang wouldn't dare guarantee he could kill cultivators above the Dao Fruit Stage, but those below, whether they are cultivators or demons, Shen Qiang could easily kill them.
But Zuo Lianghao was very calm and clear-headed. He had a very arrogant and conceited appearance but was not the type to charge forward recklessly after a few taunts, thinking he could win.
Beneath the arrogant and conceited exterior, he was exceptionally cautious.
As soon as the situation seemed unfavorable, he would immediately retreat.
Thus, killing Zuo Lianghao in a very short time and acquiring the mystical artifact on him was almost impossible.
Moreover, not only that.
He even killed his ally Kang Zhiyuan, the Young Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, to cooperate with the beautiful female Sword Master Kang Luoying, implying that Zuo Lianghao prioritized his own safety.
Because Kang Luoying, despite looking young, her cultivation is undoubtedly strong, at least above the Mixed Element Realm.
Reaching the Mixed Element Realm before the age of twenty, what does that mean?
At least a first-rate genius in the cultivation world.
Moreover, the fighting style of the beautiful female warrior is fierce and bold, charging head-on. Offensively, she can attract most people's attention, while defensively, she can certainly stop those trying to approach Zuo Lianghao.
This is why Shen Qiang decisively sat down, opting for negotiation to solve the problem.
Because once Zuo Lianghao has someone like Kang Luoying, a fierce warrior who can hurl a super big sword, he can recklessly use his sword array to attack Heshenghe. In such a situation, as long as Shen Qiang is absent or unable to restrain Zuo Lianghao's sword array.
Then during the battle, Heshenghe will suffer great losses.
This is something Shen Qiang cannot allow.
After all, Shen Qiang built everything from scratch, step by step to reach where he is today, and it wasn't easy. If not for these demons joining, relying solely on recruiting cultivators, who knows when he could have such formidable strength.
And the demons of Heshenghe are part of Shen Qiang's power.
If they were all killed, Shen Qiang would be left alone, leading followers with nothing significant to boast about.
The more he contemplated, the more troubled Shen Qiang became by Zuo Lianghao.
After all, Shen Qiang knows sword arrays and uses them far more powerfully than Zuo Lianghao, but the problem is Zuo Lianghao can control ten thousand swords, while Shen Qiang, at full capacity, can only control three hundred flying swords simultaneously.
That is already his limit, although Shen Qiang could modify the formation to construct a strong sword array with fewer flying swords.
But in actuality, even though the sword array looks like the Taihao True Sword Formation and indeed a wave of sword rain wiped out the disciples of Hidden Sword Villa.
The power is equivalent to the difference between a small handgun and a mortar.
Enough for intimidation.
But soon, Zuo Lianghao, who fled in fright, would realize this.
Once he determines Shen Qiang's sword array is not as strong as his, and his cultivation is inferior, then he will certainly act contrary and suppress Shen Qiang, then he will become a sharp sword suspended over Shen Qiang and Heshenghe, never knowing if they might be massacred by him with ten thousand swords during a brief absence.
After all, Shen Qiang cannot always follow beside someone.
And at this moment, sitting on the desk, the alluring Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing casually remarked with a smile, "If that magic artifact truly exists, it is undoubtedly an exceedingly rare space-related magical treasure."
This remark piqued Shen Qiang's interest, prompting him to immediately pick up the phone amidst three astonished gazes and call Xu Nan and Bai Jiao.
But after the phone call, Shen Qiang quickly grew disappointed.
Because their answers were remarkably consistent.
That is, the space-related magical treasures they knew were only Qiankun Bags, Storage Rings, Storage Belts, and Storage Bracelets. Among these, the best is the Storage Ring, but generally, the maximum storage space is not over thirty meters.
This means, even if an entire Storage Ring could fit ten thousand iron swords, it would be impossible to control them through the ring.
After all, the most you could do is put it in or pour it out.
Shen Qiang felt disappointed but was unwilling to give up, so he immediately drew his notebook computer, logged onto the Dragon Group Mall, and searched for space-related magical treasures.
Aside from common storage equipment like Storage Rings and Qiankun Bags, Shen Qiang was surprised to find an arrow quiver in the mall.
Top-level Magic Artifact: Ji Chang's Arrow Quiver, capable of accommodating and controlling nine hundred arrows.
Redemption required: ten thousand points.
Reputation Points: one hundred.
The existence of this arrow quiver immediately convinced Shen Qiang that Zuo Lianghao must have a similar top-level magical treasure, enabling him to control ten thousand swords.
But this arrow quiver was of little significance to Shen Qiang.
Nine hundred arrows, explosive power for an archer.
But for Shen Qiang, relying on its nine hundred flying swords to contend with Zuo Lianghao was exceedingly impractical, though better than nothing, far from matching Zuo Lianghao's control of ten thousand swords.
Sigh...
An impractical tool, consuming and regrettably letting go, how can it not cause disappointment.
Moreover, this arrow quiver costing ten thousand points, a hundred reputation points, for this price, could already exchange for a decent material, or even an Immortal Artifact.
Thus Shen Qiang hesitated.
And just then, unintentionally scrolling the page, upon viewing the comment section below.
Shen Qiang's eyes immediately lit up.
"I check daily, this arrow quiver is simply the ultimate divine artifact for archers."
"Priced so high, I estimate I'll never afford it in my lifetime."
"Yeah, exchanging is unlikely, so just observing is fine."
And the fourth comment below, brought Shen Qiang thrilling excitement.
"As a cultivator of space techniques, I earnestly tell you, this is the most worthless thing in the mall and requires ten thousand points, one hundred reputation points? What a joke! I wouldn't want it even for a hundred points, because even a weak cultivator of space techniques, as long as the cultivation is above the Nascent Soul Stage, can have at least above one meter of personal space, once in sync, placing three to five hundred arrows and controlling them is as easy as pie, so such rubbish would be burdensome even if given for free."
"Silent up there! Few cultivators of space techniques exist, barely a few dozen across Huaxia, adept at space techniques, who the hell becomes an archer!"
"666, cultivator of space techniques, your pretense is flawless, hence I rate you full marks!"
Upon witnessing all this, Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed, and he flipped his wrist, grasping the Jade Pendant acquired from Yu Liqun related to the legacy of space techniques.
"Can space techniques control numerous flying swords? Damn, I have the Secret Manual!"
